Order gcms notes just to check make sure everything is ok I no it's really really frustrating I felt it to but it's worth it in the end when you get to live am amazing life in Canada
In my case, I am FSW so I shouldn't be affected by the PNP slow processing time. Since my due date is August 20th, I am planning to call CIC on 25th August. I will also order notes around the 20th of August so if I don't get my PPR by Sept end, I will at-least know what they did on my due date and where I am stuck.

Its quite unfair. FSW who are allotted the Ottawa VO office are now getting PPR even in 35 to 45 days and we have been shunted to the morgue for no reason!

Yes its all worth it in the end.

I did order notes and that's how I got to know about the month long due date gaps compared to notes of people i know from Ottawa who had one week gaps. My next due date for officer review is fixed for August 20th as per my notes so I hope something will happen after 20th August. I shall order a second set of notes around 18th August too!

However my notes show that CIO analyst did my eligibility before pushing the file to London. So I think my eligibility will go to PASS once the officer reviews it.

Have you checked the FSW tracker? More than 70% from May/June onwards are hitting PPR in less than 90 days.
looks like i touched a nerve lol

most of those are from India, NDVO does a fairly decent job of fast tracking applicants...

you really should be keeping an eye on the 6 months not finalised thread, will make you thank your lucky stars lol

I know someone personally from UAE, Indian National with 3 PCC, 14 countries travel history, and got in 82 days since his VO was Ottawa.
one out of how many is it ? a few 100 ? :)

by that logic i know someone who has no travel history, and is stuck for over 8 months... but again - thats 1 in a few 100...

It has nothing to do with travel history or application. It is all about the VO office allotted.
really ? you think your nationality, countries you have visited, travel history, has nothing to do with your application ? you are living in a dream world my friend... snap out of it

Oh not at all. I am just ranting. :)

Things have changed in the last 2 months which maybe you are not aware. Loads of Indian applications are all now done in Ottawa. NVDO is slow compared to Ottawa. Most of the Indian application who are stuck on tracker are all in NVDO.

That comes into play ONLY for security. Not for checking eligibility, R10 etc. Please compare FSW notes. You seem to be more well versed with PNP which is overall a very slow process.

Did you check his VO Office? i am comparing 6 different notes at the moment from different people I know. The speed in which things happen is the speed in which they access your file.

A LOT has changed as far as FSW is concerned from the time you applied in January as of now. Maybe you are not keeping track of the FSW stream. PNP has gone down to crawl taking over 90 days to just pass medicals. FSW on the other hand takes only 10 - 12 days to pass medicals. You can say whatever you want but I am talking based on multiple notes I see at the moment.

I wish you all the best! :)

all these things happen at CIO only, not at VO. Its hardly their fault if application is delayed from CIO.
besides that, how do you know what all they check exactly when they are looking at R10 and eligibility ? We're not case officers, we have an idea about what they look for, but we cant put our foot down and say this should be done in 7 days flat... doesnt work that way.

there in lies the problem - you really should be concerned about your own application instead of worrying by comparing yourself by looking at other ones :) chill, relax for the time you still have remaining... it will come when it has to come - not a minute sooner :)

Are you PNP and can I ask what country your from. Unfortunately PNP applicants seem to have painful slow processing time. Have u ordered gcms notes? If you haven't maybe do so this week and then you will get an idea were your file is up to
No, Im FSW outland. Its on my signature. Yes I got the GCMS notes generated on 18 July. Everything looks normal. No Security Screening. I am from Bangladesh but UK resident since 2010.

As you have said that the due date mentioned on your notes was 30 July 2017. You should ordered another set of notes to see if there is any progress made by LVO. It's quite annoying but GCMS notes are the only source of credible information. In your notes generated on 18 July did they mentioned anything about A11.2.
